Tany rava (andriary)

Ny rivotra nifofo,
Narahin-drohimemy
Anaty safotr'afo ,
Ny fiainany hotohoto
Mongomongo fa malemy
...ho vidina lafo!

Ny tselatra niriatra
Narahim-baratra nilatsaka
Teny ambony vatolampiny.
Ny tanety ndreo fa triatra
Mangadihady sasaka
Manangana ny sari-sampiny

Ny tanana fandalovany
Haolohaolo disadisa
Tsy maha-te hizaha intsony!
Fa inona no hotsarovany
Tavela hany sisa,
Voatahiry ao am-pony?


Ravarava koa ny fony,
Triatra sy mitresatresaka
Toa tsy ahazaka intsony
Ny fitsapana toa mavesatra

Nefa mbola iny ihany
Mbola vonona hiarina!
Na dia efa trotraka aza
Tsy ilaina ny tomany
Fa nitafy fiaina-marina:
Tsy maintsy atsangana ny rava!
